- normal female costs more than normal male
...same thing, different price range
Not true...I just bought a 1.1 of Champagnes for what I consider a nice chunk of change...When I asked how much for just a male and how much for just a female - There was a BIG difference in price and the female sure wasn't on the top end...

Sure you can...Bumble Bee x normal - You have a chance at creating Bumble Bees...I believe this example holds true for other co-dom combos bred to normals...Lesser Bee x normal...Lemon Blast x normal...Ect..Ect...Ect...

Well I know that but I would think if you're looking into breeding and you don't have much $ you'd rather just breed your own bees.

I was assuming by your statement that you didn't think you could...That's what I did - Made my own Bees...Now I can take my male Bees and breed them to normals and have a chance at make more Bees...I prefer to buy male morphs and breed them to normals and holdback the females...You might be a year behide but you end up with a boat load of girls to holdback - Lots cheaper in the long run...

The OP asked a very "general" question and you gave him a VERY individualized answer. My point was, that "desire" doesn't determine price in the big picture.

BTW -- it took me all of about 3 minutes to find a half dozen killer bees for sale and I didn't even bother looking on NERDS site. :gj:
I admit I'm a little lame at finding such things, since I have a core group of breeders I'm willing to buy from and names are rarely added to the list :P.
